If you want to see command lines you should use LOG=debug. Basically, 
the only extra "debugging" stuff you will see is how the SetupFoo macros 
is called, but that is usually not much compared to all the command 
lines, and it helps a lot to improve understanding on what's going on 
and why.

(However, some of these expand with too long lines. I am planning to 
truncate too long lines at the debug level and only show that on the 
trace level.)
